Starbucks Korea has launched the ‘STARBUCKS STAR★LIGHT‘ NFT project, designed to promote personal cup use and encourage eco-friendly habits among its customers. As the first NFT project of its kind in Asia, it marks a significant step forward for Starbucks’ commitment to sustainability and digital innovation.
Digital Experiences for Customers
The ‘STARBUCKS STAR★LIGHT’ NFT project is part of Starbucks Korea’s efforts to enhance the digital experience for customers and strengthen their loyalty program, Starbucks® Rewards.
Customers can now earn Eco Stamps by ordering their favorite beverages with personal cups through the Siren Order (mobile order) system. This not only makes the ordering process more convenient but also encourages customers to adopt sustainable habits.
Collectible NFTs
There are three tiers of collectible NFTs available – BASIC NFT, CREATIVE NFT, and ARTIST NFT.
Customers can earn a BASIC NFT by collecting 5 Eco Stamps, a CREATIVE NFT by collecting 15 Eco Stamps, and an ARTIST NFT by collecting 20 Eco Stamps.
These unique digital artworks are created in collaboration with ‘Print Bakery‘ and artist ‘DADAZ‘, centered on the theme of reusable cups and tumblers. With limited availability, these NFTs offer a one-of-a-kind experience for customers to own digital art inspired by their eco-friendly habits.
